Dead Letter And The Infinite Yes

I found a letter it read
"Our existence has serious side effects"
Turned on, turn on the television
and It's telling me the world is collapsing
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
And I don't know why it is
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad?
And my therapist said
"We've evolved through a series of accidents"
There's been talk of chemical imbalances
Restless sense of detachment, nausea and/or violence
I think it's coming oh and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
And I don't know why it is
I feel it coming, I think it's real and significant
I think I think I think a little too often
That's what my therapist said
We're alone in this wilderness
Left to choke on the pills and to feed on the viruses
I think it's coming oh and it comes so fast
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad

Fairy Tales And Castles

He says, he looks in the mirror, he can't tell anymore
Who he really is and who they believe him to be
And he says he walks a thin line between what is and what could be
He's getting closer to something he can't understand
'Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting, he climbed his ladder
There was nothing there and now it's a long way down
'Cause on and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive on and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs and castles made of sand
He says his head is filled with cartoons and fairy tales
And he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls
With smiles on their faces
He's built a pretty cage
Hit shows on a beautiful stage
With candy coated prison bars
And chains that look like jeweler y
'Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting he climbed his ladder
There was nothing there and now it's a long way down
'Cause on and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive on and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs and castles made of sand
'Cause he lives inside
Of fairy tails and castles now
And there's room inside
For false expectations and illusions
'Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting he climbed his ladder
There was nothing there and now it's a long way down
It's a long way down
'Cause on and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive on and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs and castles made of sand
'Cause on and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive on and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs and castles made of sand
'Cause on and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive on and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs and castles made of sand

The Supreme Teacher

I salute the supreme teacher, the Truth, whose Nature is Bliss; who is the giver of the highest happiness; who is pure wisdom; who is beyond all qualities and infinite like the sky; who is beyond words; who is one and eternal, pure and still; who is beyond all change and phenomena and who is the silent witness to all our thoughts and emotions - I salute Truth, the supreme teacher.

More Crystal Visions

I added a few new stones and crystals to my collection and thought I'd tell you about them...

I got a couple of Pink Peruvian (Andean) Opals. They are specifically helpful for those who find it difficult to face challenge and change. Andean Opal helps to ease into any change with joy in your heart. It is wonderful to use in the manifestation of your dreams and achieving your goals as it reminds us of our higher potential and our divine nature, which is one of perfection. Working with Andean Opal can help to instill a sense of loyalty and faithfulness in both personal and business relationships. It also will assist to open/awaken the intuition. Andean Opal will not only open your lines of intuitive communication, but also the understanding of the messages received. It is a true one on one connection with the spiritual realms of being. It can also help to release old patterns which are no longer useful or necessary.

I also got a beautiful Rainbow Fluorite which increases intuitive abilities and links the human mind to universal consciousness, and develops connection to the spirit realm. It further anchors intuitive insights into the physical plane, allowing mental and physical coordination. Rainbow Fluorite heightens mental abilities, assisting in rapid organization and processing of information, and it can bring mental clarity and stability to an otherwise chaotic situation.

Transcendental Euphoria

Floating on a enveloping opiate cloud down the sidewalk from getting a twelve-pack of a beer made locally, I was questioning myself about what it was that kept me ensnared in addiction. The beer is appropriately named Bed of Nails....What was this feeling that I can't have it any other way? A feeling that regardless of what physical pain I'm feeling, what emotional turmoil I'm experiencing, and what horrible surroundings I'm in, (...keep in mind that once I'm in my apartment, I'm in sanctuary....) everything is okay because it's wrapped snuggly in humming love.

Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels 

And still too close to you
I feel
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightening
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night

The night

That's Audioslave's song, "I Am The Highway," by the way. I'm still trying to figure this out. Maybe one day I will....until then I continue to try and keep my head above water....searching for the shore...

Enjoy Life My Friends.....
